The clicking sound when a point gets hit is really satisfying.

Let's just take a minute to appreciate how much effort was put into creating such a well animated video.

On the "social" point, I've noticed this phenomenon in all sorts of things I've taught to people: programming, dance, woodworking, video games, etc. For human beings, it seems like an essential part of learning something is forgetting what it was like not to know that thing.

For your 2M subscriber special, can we see you tackle an IMO problem you’ve never seen before, to see how your brain works without having a ton of time to animate and think? You are incredibly insightful!

I can't help but think the reason so many participants struggled with this problem is because it's so difficult to visualize. The graphics in this video make discovering the solution seem almost obvious, but with a pencil and paper? And a question written in that kind of language? It's very far removed from what you typically see in the study of mathematics.
